|abstract=Ksplice allows system administrators to apply patches to the Linux kernel without rebooting. Ksplice can apply 88% of the Linux kernel security patches from May 2005 to May 2008 without writing any new code, and it can apply all of the security patches from that interval if a programmer writes a small amount of new code. This talk will explain how Ksplice works.

Ksplice allows system administrators to apply security patches to the Linux kernel without having to reboot. Ksplice takes as input a source code change in unified diff format and the kernel source code to be patched, and it applies the patch to the corresponding running kernel. The running kernel does not need to have been prepared in advance in any way. This talk will give a technical overview of how Ksplice works.
